I would advise to keep them together if you need any advice about those 2 schools (I had kids at both of them) let us know. Congratulations excellent choices!! |
Basis Mclean: Admitted
GDS: Admitted Potomac School: Waitlisted HA: Admitted. Potomac School was her first choice! |
Well, congrats on Holton and GDS! |
don't forget the grade folks! |
Admitted to Holton for 7th. Got a call earlier in the day and a package delivered by USPS (did NOT show up in informed delivery) that came with the mail. |
Kindergarten!
Accepted: Norwood, NPS, St Pats Waitlisted: Maret, Beauvoir No: WES, Concord Hill. |
4th grade
Sidwell - waitlisted Maret - waitlisted Potomac School - waitlisted We did not get in anywhere. I am so incredibly disappointed. Do we have any hope to get off waitlists.. |
Reach out to Potomac and tell them they are your first choice and if extended an offer, you will accept. It’s highest probability of the 3 schools. |
At those schools, waitlist entry is exceptionally unlikely to be honest. Others may provide anecdotal success stories, but it's not likely. That said, your child is young...try again for 6th which is a larger entry year. |
Not at Potomac Potomac takes 12 kids at 4th. Only 6 kids at 6th But then they take 20 kids at 7th… |
6th grade
Waitlisted at Maret and GDS Rejected at Sidwell |
Daughter rejected Hilton for 3 rd grade. Disappointed. She had best scores in her school. Good recommendation. Well and talented kid. Don’t know why we didn’t get in. |
Probably because you did not donated to the Admissions Fund…. Everyone who donated, got accepted. |
Where else did you apply? |
In @ Holton for 6th. Also got a call around 1 pm & a swag box delivered USPS w/our reg mail. Only school DD wanted/applied to, so we are happy. Sending good vibes esp. to those awaiting WL outcomes. |
